- splinter09, on 06/17/2009, -0/+12Nothing is absurd coming from Digg!
- V3n0M, on 06/17/2009, -0/+10I've noticed since the end of shouts my recommendations are always the same 3 submitters and the frontpage is the same 12 users with a random user thrown in every once in awhile. It's not as diverse as it used to be.
- tonychenyj, on 06/17/2009, -0/+9To be honestly, I don't think this digg tool will be ban by digg.
As far as I know. most of the digger are tracking their friend's submission from RSS, and this digg tool Sub.DiggPlus just doing the same thing, but in a better format and add more extra feature to it.
Such as sort your friend's submission, view special topics, and the most useful one is loop through your friend's submission by click on the "Next" in the toolbar.
If Digg ban this tools, I think they should ban the RSS as well. Of course you can still use the old fashion way by checking your friend's submissions from the Digg web site, but as the ReadWriteWeb said "Digg's own view of friends' submissions is cluttered with extra pageviews and not a lot of fun to use." - webdevray, on 06/17/2009, -0/+9Awesome Digg tool indeed~ This will be very useful since shouts have been turned off.
Digg is letting us creating apps that can help digger like us by using the Digg API. That's the whole point of API. I cannot see why some digger are afraid to use it...
And it looks like Digg is Further Open Up the API as well.

I DO NOT think Digg would encourage people making tools for them, at the same time banning them as well. - N01SE, on 06/18/2009, -0/+4Digg has social networking?
- vtbarrera, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4So this basically adds a feature that SU has had all along and I don't see why this is a bad thing; the diggs are still happening through Digg's own toolbar.
I'm guessing one of the only potential problems Digg may have with sub.diggerplus is that the site may throw in their own "sponsored pages" between your friends' submissions, thus achieving what Digg's been trying to accomplish all along. Digg should have had a drop down menu where the "random button" on the toolbar can be changed to "recommended" or "friends". That way, it gives the user full control over the types of submissions they see while at the same time makes Digg a simpler, more enjoyable experience. - AllINeed, on 06/17/2009, -0/+4Because it's a pain in the ass to do it that way :)

oh, and its quickly dying under the presure of 25 diggs.. - inactive, on 09/13/2009, -1/+4Why didn't digg think of this first?
- marshallk, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3We're waiting for an official response from Digg - lines of communication have been opened, their head of PR emailed back but hasn't called yet.
- DaviDTC, on 06/17/2009, -0/+3Probably wont be banned cause you actually have to go to the link to digg the submission. If you can digg from the list alone (maybe I am missing it), it should be banned. This just gives an easy list of what your friends have submitted.
- charm803, on 06/18/2009, -0/+2Digg once banned a member for saying "Go make me a sammich!" after a girl complained about it being sexist.
That being the case, you lost them after "think." - inactive, on 06/17/2009, -4/+4I think..if this tool helps only to dugg friends submission then it's not so useful because that same thing we can do from our friends history as well.. "http://digg.com/users/mrbabyman/friends/submission ... so y should we take the risk.....
- damnshoes, on 06/17/2009, -2/+1SCRIPTS.
- thespanielator, on 06/17/2009, -6/+2I'm going to go out on a limb again here, how about just digging the stories you think are digg worthy.
Zaibatsu. Anybody heard from him recently?
Oh and buried, stop trying to game the system. Or in this particular case, stop promoting the gaming of the system. - CivicTV, on 08/14/2009, -7/+2Buried babyspam using subdigger!
